| Waiver request submitted by Michael J. Hebert, Jr., a member of the Iberville Parish School Board, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2010 Tier 2 annual pfd 423 days late. |
|
Mr. Hebert received a "second notice" which triggered the filing of the report.
Mr. Hebert says that he relied on an associate to make sure the report was timely filed, but it was overlooked. During the time it should have been filed, he says he was experiencing problems with his back. He also states that the imposition of the late fee would cause a financial hardship. Mr. Hebert is not employed full-time.
On September 16, 2013, a request for supporting documentation was sent to Mr. Hebert. The deadline for submitting the information was October 16, 2013. On October 16, 2013 Mr. Hebert submitted a copy of his application for pending disability benefits.
